The Perfect Scam
It's perfect, really. Republicans run for office on the platform that the government is feckless and corrupt. Once they're in office, they make sure this is the case. Then, at the next election, their platform is "See? The government is feckless and corrupt!" and people think, yeah, they're right about that; better vote for the smart guys. And when Democrats campaign by running on and on about what they'll have the government do to help you, voters just think the Democrats are really be out of it; anyone can see that the government is feckless and corrupt, so we keep on getting Republicans elected.
"And so it goes." Perfect!
